    script issue

    I was writing a bash script which attached to another script. The issue I'm having is, when I use the exit command written in the script, it takes me back to the first script. How do I disable this?

    Use the exec command to launch your child script. That will cause the process that is running the parent to run the child instead. Since there is only one process, when it exits, it's gone.
